“I want to specialize in birds and marine
life. I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian for
as long as I can remember. But now that
I’ve taken a lot of marine vertebrate bio
classes, I’m rethinking the vet idea. I might
want to do something more related to conservation
or ecology.”

FAVORITE INTERNSHIPS: Whooping crane
rehabilitation program at the Wildlife
Research Center in Laurel, Maryland,
and aviculture intern at the National
Aquarium in Baltimore

FAVORITE PROFESSOR: Lesley Thorne,
School of Marine and Atmospheric
Sciences

“She taught the Marine Mammals and
Sea Turtles class. She got people talking
in groups,
which is really helpful in learning the
material. Sometimes she brought in guest speakers,
like the one who talked about penguins. We also
got to watch a seal necropsy.”

FAVORITE SPOT ON CAMPUS: Tabler Center

“There’s a SINC site, and you
can go downstairs and study, and there’s a Dunkin’ Donuts.
It’s a nice place to hang out with friends.”
